Bluegrass Unlimited is a monthly bluegrass music magazine published monthly since 1966. Originally produced in a typed, mimeographed 7– x 8½–inch booklet-like format with a hand drawn logo, BU has since grown to be "affectionately referred to as the 'bible of bluegrass music.'" BU is one of the most important artifacts of bluegrass history. In addition to housing interviews with important figures going back to the 1st generation, BU has catalogued the history of the bluegrass community as a whole for the past 50+ years.
BU has been reckognized as an important piece of history and is found in many academic libraries and institutions. However, with well over 500 published issues, it can sometimes be a challenge to find what information about who can be found where. Until now. With this index, a work-in-progress, all table of contents, covers, and general stores will be searchable (pro-tip: use CTRL+F). This site is for educational purposes only and is covered under fair use. Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research. No copyright infringment is intended. Credit is given when possible to the dozens of writers, photographers, edititors, and visionaries who made this magazine possible.
